Of interest

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets

A photographic essay about a woman who makes her living sewing ceremonial robes for members of the Ku Klux Klan. The comments are predictably full of “she should get raped by a bear because she is racist” type stuff and can basically be ignored. For my part, I just felt tremendously sorry for her. She’s […]

On Meeting Jim Flaherty

Posted by MGK Published in Law Skool, Politics

Jim Flaherty, the Finance Minister for the Canadian federal government, came to visit Osgoode Hall yesterday (it turns out my law school is his alma mater, which I did not previously know). I went, because if you have the chance to ask questions of who is (not officially, but for all intents and purposes) the […]

“Previously, On “Lost”…”

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

Back in the mid-90s, Marvel had what I thought was the very clever practice of printing on the inside front cover of every issue of every ongoing comic a mini-introduction to the comic – quick blurbs for each of the cast, a short synopsis of what was currently going on in the comic, what happened […]

It could be worse.

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Comics, Dr. Doom Loves My Little Pony, Photoshopp'd

Recently the internet has gotten in a tizzle over Brian Michael Bendis’ dialogue for Dr. Doom in Mighty Avengers. Like so: Now, admittedly, this is pretty mediocre dialogue for Dr. Doom, but come on. I think we need to be reminded of what really bad Dr. Doom dialogue is.

I Should Really Just Have A “Newsarama Commenters Miss The Point” Weekly Feature

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, The Internets

Mike Manley says what’s obviously true – that fanboys complaining about the new all-ages Brave and the Bold cartoon show (which has Jaime Reyes in it! How is that not fantastic?) are products of a skewed direct-market fan environment that caters to their needs over the legion of younger fans just waiting to be introduced […]
